Hasbro sent out the call for this years Transformers Hall of Fame nominations and it’s time for you to sound off! This year they will again be inducting into 3 separate categories.
· FAVORITE TRANSFORMERS CHARACTER (Fictional Robot Character)
· FAVORITE TRANSFORMERS MOVIE CHARACTER (Fictional Robot Character)
· 2017 TRANSFORMERS HASBRO TOY OF THE YEAR (Fictional Robot Character)
We here at TFW2005 have started 3 threads for initial feedback. We don’t have a lot of time, so please sound off with your suggestions for the poll by Thursday 7/13/17 at the links below. We will then create 3 polls, one for each category, and allow you guys to vote. The top 3 from each will be submitted to Hasbro on behalf of the TFW2005 community.
So, first things first, sound off with your suggestions here:
Favorite Character Suggestion Thread
Favorite Movie Character Suggestion Thread
2017 Toy of the Year Suggestion Thread
Then check back on Thursday and cast your official vote!
As you know, no characters who have already been inducted within the ‘Favorite Character’ category will be considered for nomination. In a fun twist this year, in celebration of the release of Transformers: The Last Knight and the 10 year anniversary of the film franchise, any character that appears in the films is eligible for nomination in the ‘Favorite Movie Character’ category regardless of their nomination or induction previously (if Megatron can win for G1 and Beast Wars, it is only fair!). A list of inducted characters can be found below.
The new category ‘2017 Transformers Toy of the Year’ is being introduced to provide fans an opportunity to share their passion for the figures that have been the heartbeat of the brand for over 30 years. This new category is meant to celebrate the new product within the calendar year and the ongoing efforts of the Hasbro Transformers team to fulfill the desires of our many fans around the world with innovative and exciting toys. All nominations for this category must be toys newly released by Hasbro in 2017 and can include figures that are yet to hit shelves in the calendar year, but have been announced.
